Adama vs. Obama (and McCain, too) for president

Sept. 13, 2008 | 5:36 a.m.

L.A. Times’ intrepid Web Scout David Sarno was tipped off to a site trying to get the vote out for one of our favorite military heroes. And, sorry, but it’s not John McCain.

Adamaforpresident.org is conducting a campaign for Admiral Adama to be the commander in chief. Yes — "That’s Adm. William ‘Bill’ Adama, commander of the human star fleet, whose exploits have been faithfully chronicled in the excellent space documentary ‘Battlestar Galactica’ " — as said by Sarno.

As for the presidential race … most people believed that Hilary Clinton (38%) was a Cylon over Barack Obama (34.5%) (but John McCain was less than both at 27%), so that probably helped decide the Democratic nominee. In an Adama-McCain race, Adama saving the human race could outweigh McCain’s military contribution (though it certainly doesn’t lessen it). And an Obama-Adama campaign? Well, that would be for the people to decide.

We know who the adamaforpresident.org site supports, selling posters, t-shirts, etc. Whatever the gear, the message is clear: Adama ’08!
